Channing Tatum shared a sweet birthday message for his girlfriend, English singer Jessie J, 31, on Wednesday.

"Wishing you the happiest day filled with all the love and all the light," he captioned a shot of the singer. "You came into this world on this day and lit it on fire."

"You have blessed our eyes, our ears, our hearts and our lives," he continued. "So thank you for just being you."

"You are so very special," he added. "Happy birthday Baby."

Jessie J also shared a post on her big day, in which she listed the ways in which she hopes to better herself in the new year.

Among some of the factors she listed included: "Better at coping with change. Better at facing my fears. Better at being alone. Better at being open. Better at asking for support."

The two are private about their relationship. Tatum has only posted about Jessie J once before, in November 2018.

"This woman just poured her heart out on stage at the Royal Albert Hall," he captioned an image of her onstage. "Whoever was there got to witness something special. Wow."

Tatum and his former wife, Jenna Dewan, announced their split in 2018 and stated their commitment to co-parenting their daughter in a joint statement at the time.

"There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision — just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible," their statement read. "We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly."
